Games I only play Deadlock at the moment, and would love some game recommendations

One caveat is that it must work on Linux, although that is a large percentage of games at this point.

What are y'all playing right now, and what would you recommend? Looking to get myself out of the perpetual "queue deadlock" cycle, and find something with engaging and fresh gameplay, and possibly a story I can get hooked into.

oh woah i had no idea they were making dlc for that game!

Games I play are usually hero shooters on repeat, and some indie games. TF2, Overwatch, and Deadlock come to mind. I loved the hell out of Mordhau for a time. I mostly play multiplayer, but have enjoyed select singleplayer games like Cult of the Lamb and Slay the Spire. I'm not a fan of big AAA games that make my computer cry, lol.

I've spent a lot of time on league, but that makes me feel even worse so I try to avoid it. I'm also playing cult of the lamb right now, what a coincidence. Couldn't get into slay the spire, unfortunately bc apparently it's a great game. Haven't played the others.

Some of my friends play a lot of league. It doesn't work on linux, though, so I haven't really gotten into it. Deadlock is the same type of game, and I also find myself coming out of the experience feeling worse than I started. Less often than Overwatch, though.

Cult of the Lamb is outstanding!! I played it when I had a switch OLED and maaaan the colours are pretty. My cult was entirely composed of cats.

my condition makes me only able to play games that aren't stressful and don't require much thinking, so i've been trying to play the cozy genre of games more. what linux distro are you on? i used to be on endeavour(arch), but i switched to mint recently (with about 50 distros in between)

I am currently running Kubuntu until Mint Cinnamon adds full support for Wayland later this year. KDE is almost there for me, but Cinnamon is lighter and more predictable.

I've been setting up a Nintendo Switch emulator tonight, and might give Animal Crossing another go. Cozy sounds really nice right about now. Ever try it?

 

[ipmanwc0]

isn't mint cinnamon already on wayland? is it not fully supported? ever try what? animal crossing?

Cinnamon has an experimental implementation of Wayland that is very very broken last I checked. If you're using it just fine, though, I may give it another go. The feature-parity to X11 is going to come with their update in December.

yeah it seems perfectly fine to me and i've been on it for a couple months. yk funnily enough i was a huge distro hopper but i've never tried ubuntu. until mint i've been obsessed with bleeding edge software distros like arch and fedora
